A base station is provided, which includes a transmitter configured to transmit a RXDIV switch command message to an access terminal instructing the access terminal to switch between a diversity mode where each antenna module of a number of antenna modules receives a single carrier signal transmitted at a single carrier frequency and a multi-carrier mode where a first antenna module of the number of antenna modules receives a first multi-carrier signal transmitted at a first carrier frequency and a second antenna module receives a second multi-carrier signal transmitted at a second carrier frequency. The RXDIV switch command message is in the format of a modified Packet Downlink Assignment message in accordance with a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE) Radio Access Network (GERAN) standard protocol, the RXDIV switch command message including a RXDIV switch indicator instructing the access terminal to switch to the diversity mode, and a single carrier channel indicator assigning a single carrier channel to the access terminal. The corresponding method and access terminal are also provided. (62) Divided Out of 562272
